"Numb it and lance and put a wick in for two days..."

TO answer your question about the boil , if there is redness and feels warm to touch. Go to he emergency room, the will sterilize it. Numb it and lance and put a wick in for two days. Also you need antibiotics. If you do it home it can cause it to spread and cause bad staph or even worse. I had it done last week.. i was relieved to have it drained.

Someone said: i had a grapefruit sized abscess/boil on my thigh. it was very very painful. it grew in a matter of two days. i started squeezing it to let the puss out but only got very little out. i then got a heating pad to help (which it did) however i ended up going to the emergency room! thank god i did!! the worst thing you can do is ignore it and think you can take care of it on your own. that infection stays in your body and can lead to greater issues. you can even eventually die if untreated and you have ongoing issues. my recommendation is to go to the hospital or your dr immediately!!

Someone said: oh and they told me to keep the wick / packing in for 24 hours. im due to go back in on monday. i wouldnt do it at home as if it still needs to be drained - they'll get back in there and do their thing and disinfect as needed.

120.00 is what it cost me . It has to be done carefully and not all at once or can cause heart attack . Process is usually preformed in vet e.r. . A way to naturally remove the water from belly is dandelions but one teaspoon for 20 lbs is diuretic and ask vet first . .

I don`t really know much about this, but it said in order to have my question answered, i have to answer a question. but i don`t think that you should do it, because it can possibly infect the wound and make it worse.. hope this helps you out.
